Web Management Alert Risk Scoring for Availability Monitoring

The patent segments the monitoring system into distinct functional components: alert generation modules distributed across multiple executables, a central alert aggregation service, and a separate risk assessment module. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall system capability while making administration more manageable through clear separation of concerns.

The patent introduces an intermediary alert aggregation service that sits between the distributed executables and administrative users. This intermediary consolidates alerts from multiple sources, applies risk scoring rules, and presents unified risk assessments to administrators, thereby reducing the complexity of monitoring a distributed system without sacrificing functional comprehensiveness.

The patent applies local quality by implementing risk scoring rules that are specific to different entity types and alert conditions. Instead of uniform monitoring, the system applies context-specific assessment criteria to different parts of the system (e.g., database entities versus web server entities), improving risk assessment accuracy while avoiding unnecessary processing of irrelevant alerts.

The patent changes parameters by transforming raw alert data into risk scores through configurable scoring rules. The system adjusts the state of alert information from unprocessed notifications to standardized risk assessments with numerical scores, enabling precise risk measurement while reducing the effective volume of alerts that administrators must evaluate by presenting only scored results.
